This one uses an old-style Drexel logo with the dragon in a yellow box and contains a link that goes to a site on the Reunion Islands. While this is amateurish, the web page that you'd see if you clicked the link looks just like a real one, but it steals your account name and password. People tricked by this would be handing their information to hackers who could use it to get more of your personal information or to attack other people under your name.

If you did click the link and enter your account credentials, contact the IT Help Desk at (215) 895-2020 or consult@drexel.edu for assistance.
